We stayed at Le Bora Bora for our delayed honeymoon and wow! Was it worth the wait! From the time we got off the plane, we had someone ready to assist us with our bags and show us where to wait to catch the peaceful ride on a water taxi to the resort. Upon arrival at the resort, we did a page of paperwork, showed our passports, and were ready to get checked in! We visited the concierge and made sure all of our pre-planned excursions were still good to go and he helped us plan some others in addition, like a trip to Bloody Mary's! We then were shown to our overwater bungalow, where our bags had already been delivered. Our room was spacious, extremely clean, and had a beautiful view! The mini-bar was stocked with pineapple juice, beer, and a couple of snacks. The room itself has an incredible view, an amazing bathroom with a raining showerhead and stand-alone tub, and of course, the clear glass to look into the ocean below. We got checked in right in time for happy hour at the bar so we took the short walk from our bungalow where we met the incredible bar staff that we visited multiple times during our stay. The pool swam up to the bar on one side which was a nice addition. During our stay, we got massages and it was so relaxing! Our only wish (and potentially the only recommendation from this entire stay) is that it seemed to close very early at 7 PM and we definitely could have enjoyed it more after that. The resort also has paddleboards and kayaks on the beach that you're able to take out anytime before sunset. We definitely got our use out of those amenities as well. Our main excursion during our time at Le Bora Bora had a convenient pickup at the resort's main dock making that extremely convenient. While we did not use the taxi service to the main island that is offered throughout the day, we did utilize a shared transport to the main island for our dinner at Bloody Mary's. One of our favorite pieces of the whole stay was our breakfast delivered by the wonderful staff on a canoe. One of the staff members took us out into the water while the other prepared our breakfast on the back porch. An incredible time all around! Both the water and land transport were very convenient as well. The hotel staff did everything in their power to make sure our stay was nothing short of perfect and they definitely succeeded!…
Don't have enough positive things to say about this hotel. Upon arrival via private hotel catamaran from the airport we were greeted with fresh juice and provided with a shower room to freshen up and change into our swimwear until our room was ready. Our room was ready early and was at the end of the pontoon with a mountain view. The rooms were recently renovated and they did an absolutely stunning job. The patio with net for lounging is a generous size, lots of room for activities with a shaded area when the sun gets too hot! Drinks are pricey but so worth it, happy hour at the pool bar was a huge hit and a great way to get some more bang for your buck. Huge thank you to Mr. Z at the swim up bar for his service and great attitude always. Restaurants were better than expected and large breakfast buffet. We did the sunset cruise offered through the hotel and the staff on the boat were incredible- always making sure we had fresh drinks in our hand and took so many great photos for us without us even having to ask. Despite the cloudy sky and minimal sunset that evening, the sunset cruise was by far one of the highlights of our trip- highly recommend! Staff throughout the hotel were always accommodating- we were never told 'no' and they always met our requests with a smile. Overall, incredible hotel and worth every penny! We're already looking forward to returning in the future! Thanks for the best stay of our lives!…
This resort has it all. The OWB are perfect fir a couple. You can walk in the water right off the bungalow. The Miki Miki restaurant is top notch. The fire twirlers were a bug hit along with the BBQ buffet. The Poerava restaurant was also very good. The breakfast buffet was also 5*. Top notch resort.
Cannot say enough about Le Bora Bora. We got to stay at the overwater bungalow and the beach bungalow with the pool. Exceptional cleanliness, brand new rooms! Staff is very friendly. The pre-set menu restaurant had terrific food. Incredible baby moon/ honey moon experience!
Our family of 5 (kids 26, 18, 15) recently returned from a 4 night stay at Le Bora Bora. We had previously stayed at the Intercontinental Thalasso. I had given that property a solid five star review at the time. Le Bora Bora deserves the same! We had initially reserved 2 OWB and upon arrival were upgraded to the Royal Suite. While there was a bit of sadness that we wouldn’t be able to duplicate our prior over water experience, we were ultimately thrilled and quite thankful for the managements foresight of putting us into the single and oh so luxurious accommodations. Le Bora Bora is a spectacular property. The resort felt comfortable, and was staffed by incredibly friendly and helpful people. We felt that the atmosphere was more authentic Tahitian than our previous visit. Every interaction we had was welcoming. Breakfast was plentiful and interesting, and our meal plan allowed us full access to the restaurants for dinner (highly recommended). Unfortunately, I cannot review the over water bungalows. I can say however, that the Royal Villa was incredible. Families with older kids should definitely consider booking it. It really is the ultimate family vacation accommodation. Since it is two beach villas connected by a large great room, I can recommend not hesitating to reserve a villa. The fixtures are high end, the plunge pool a treat, and access to the common areas is much quicker. We would absolutely choose to visit Le Bora Bora again. Positives: Newly remodeled Multiple food options Polynesian theme night twice weekly Excellent concierge staff to assist with activity booking Wonderful grounds Unbelievably accommodating and friendly staff Negatives: No stand up paddle boards (during our stay) Tips: Take the shuttle to the main island to hit up the market for snacks Note: Liquor sales halted on Sunday Bring a blow up raft Introduce yourself to ‘H’ at the pool bar…
We visited the resort as part of an 11-day vacation to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We were booked for 6 nights in an overwater bungalow with pool, but upon arrival on a rainy Wednesday evening, we were stunned speechless to have been upgraded by the manager to the End of Pontoon Overwater Suite with Pool. We had to keep picking our jaws up off the floor at the incredible beauty and luxury of the suite, its location, and the resort in general. Every touch and detail was perfect from the lush floral bouquet in the living room to the floral greeting spelling out "25" on the king bed. The location of the suite is unbelievable with 270 degree unobstructed views of the lagoon, the open ocean, surrounding motus, and of course Bora Bora and Otemanu. Yes, it was an 11 minute walk from the beach, but who cares? The privacy and beauty were beyond compare. We only left the resort once for a snorkleing excursion, but not even for a meal -- that's how much we loved the resort itself. The food was very good at both Miki Miki and Otemanu restaurants. The buffet that was served on our arrival night in Miki Miki was hands down the best buffet we've ever experienced and seriously one of the best meals we had on the whole trip. There were activities every day if you chose, or plenty of places to relax, sun, rest in the shade, or do nothing if you chose. The resort grounds and buildings are beautiful, and the authentic Polynesian touches are everywhere you look. Every single staff member we met was friendly, helpful, and attentive. We would return in a heartbeat and are forever grateful for the most memorable anniversary celebration possible!…
Let me start with all the great things we enjoyed during our stay. We arrived at the airport and the whole transport and check-in process was well coordinated. Once our luggages got on their boat, we were hands-free until our departure. We booked the water bungalow with the mountain view. The view is picture perfect. The bungalow is well designed and maintained. You get the view of water everywhere in the room, the light reflection of the water through the glass, and the window that opens from the bathroom that lets you look out when you're in the tub, all very thoughtful. The deck has direct access to calm and warm ocean water that only goes up to your waist. It was the most gentle body of water I've seen. They also farm colonies of corals which was a great plus. It attracts an abundance of fish, we didn't even have to do excursion to see a variety of ocean life forms like sharks and sting rays. They were swimming under our bungalow at night! If you dangle your feet in the water on the deck, the small fish sometimes would nip on your toes. We booked the Polynesian massage. It was well worth the money. Although the massage was average, they offer dry and wet sauna and a scenic resting area for you to relax afterward. What a tranquil experience! The lotus flower pond, with the sunshine spilling through the vegetation, accompanied with distant bird chirping lets you almost forget time and yourself. I’m a landscape architect who specializes in garden design. I must say this resort is again well designed. There are many vista points for great photos, beautiful gardens with excellent tropical vegetation layering, well thought-out pedestrian circulations and beach front. Now come the shortcomings. The food left much to be desired. My husband got stomach flu on the first day and his brother also developed mild diarrhea. I understand Bora Bora is a distant island where shipping logistic may be tricky, but I think freshness and cleanliness are essential especially for raw meats (sashimi/beef). At such a high cost, my expectation should go beyond food safety. We saw flies hovering the buffet food and a cockroach roaming on our table! Another thing is the service; there was a waitress who seemed to be looking out for tips. Tbh, given the food quality, I can hardly motivate myself to tip much. They also tend to clean up our table way too often and take away our utensils prematurely. What was worse was during the BBQ dinner, we (2 couples) were put together with two other couples to share one small table. So there are 3 parties who didn’t know each other were put together. Aside from the awkwardness, we were also worried from a COVID standpoint. And speaking of COVID, I don’t think I’ve seen anyone there wearing a face mask, guests and staff alike. Lastly, maybe our luck ran out, we caught two cockroaches in our bungalow during our last day. I’m not sure if we should convince ourselves to see it as a natural phenomenon, but it left us a sour taste in our mouth. We really want to love this resort because there are so much positives. I hope they would promptly take corrective actions. Otherwise, I don’t think I would recommend it to my family and friends.…
This hotel was incredible. We stayed in one of the over water bungalows and it surpassed expectations. The water was incredible and very swimmable (not lots of rocks/reef unless you seeked them out in certain areas). The service was also outstanding.. go meet Mr. H at the bar he's a legend. Food was solid, not out of this world but a lot of tasty things to try... we loved the fresh ahi tuna bowls. It is expensive but felt worth the value. We did 3 nights at the Hilton in Moorea prior to 4 nights here and if we were to have done it again we would have done the whole trip here (the moorea hilton was not great).
A M A Z I N G!!!!! This resort was just superb in every way. The setting was gorgeous with Otemanu views from every angle. The staff were SOOOO friendly. The room was like a piece of art with beautiful carved woodwork on the walls and glass on the counters, floor in front of bed, and some side walls to maximize the beautiful water. There were lots of fish under our bungalow #214. We loved our view although it wasn’t of Mt Otemanu. The turndown service and refilling of our refrigerator was just awesome. I have traveled a lot and this exceeded all of my expectations. Definitely call H20 to do a snorkel tour and ask for Diego. He was just amazing. Jeremy at Moe Moea Pearls right there at the resort was wonderful. He did a custom necklace for me, and I also got earrings and a ring. I shopped at a lot of Pearl stores and this one had the most elegant designs and very competitive prices if not better than most. We did the nice restaurant with 5 courses and wine pairings one night and it was wonderful. I chose this resort over the others because it looked like it was very luxurious while still being more authentic Polynesian, and I am so glad I went with this one. Boat transfers to the main island are free during the day and it’s very easy and close. We loved Bloody Mary’s and doing an island tour one day. Thank you to all of the staff at Le Bora Bora Pearl for making us feel so special!!!…
Where do I begin? Le Bora Pearl is an AMAZING resort!!! We stayed 3 nights (not long enough) in a beach bungalow during our trip to Bora Bora. The staff was super attentive, the food is delicious and the views are BEAUTIFUL!!!. We enjoyed walking on the beach, kayaking and simply relaxing. They did a wonderful job of renovating the resort. We felt we received the highest quality and service at a very affordable price. I cannot say enough about the customer service and overall experience we had during our stay. I AM ALREADY PLANNING A RETURN TRIP!!!
